Christian Covington looked the part of a top 100 pick in 2013, recording 59 tackles, including 14 tackles for loss and four sacks. A dislocated knee pushed him into the sixth round, where he if healthy, the former Rice product could prove quite the complementary dish to J.J. Watt for the Houston Texans.

The Miami Dolphins made the big splash in free agency with the signing of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and could see Georgia's Todd Gurley as the perfect draft day follow-up. Meanwhile if Philip Rivers is to remain in San Diego, protecting him with Wisconsin's record-breaking Melvin Gordon could be the key to success in the AFC West.
